Church not yet examined in detail. However east end south aisle has a cusped Early English angle piscina; the aisle east window is two-thirds blocked up, in antiquity. The aisle west window is lowered to form a shelf. These features noted from photographs seen 1992, as they may be concealed by proposed alterations.

(S4) states that a roof painted with multi coloured chevrons etc in mid 16th century style was painted over by a Colonel Mason in the 19th century; angels were painted; he increased the number of bells from four to six which caused the tower to crack, so he had it rebuilt; he rebuilt the octagonal arcade piers as quatrefoil; and demolished the south porch which was replaced by a mausoleum by Pugin.

November 2009. Building survey.
The medieval east wall of the tower remains, as do the north and south walls up to the second floor stringcourse. Internally, a pair of joists mark the position of the original first floor level. A medieval studded door also remains. The tower was rebuilt in 1862 as a result of structural problems dating from the 1520's and was rebuilt with modern brick and flint. Gabled butresses and a lantern topped with an ogee cupola were added during this rebuild.
See (S7) for further details.
